Daily Devotions for Friday 22nd January, 2021

Morning
Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus

Reading : JOHN 3 verses 1-21

Meditation : take time and consider all that is said here by Jesus
What words stay with you?
What is God saying to you today from His Word?
What is your response to Him?

Pray to this God of ours in response
Including for others on a journey meeting with God

O Living LORD,
I read these words.
Help me let the Holy Spirit work out these truths
Even today.
May you guide and bless others
At this time in their lives
As one and another are born again!
Amen – we pray together.

Midday
Pray with thanksgiving for the Gift of a Saviour to the world!
Thank you God for sending Jesus
Thank you Jesus that you came
Holy Spirit may others hear of Him this day

Evening
Reading : read this passage again from JOHN 3
Reflect on the words and events here and pray in response to this God of ours

Living LORD, hear our evening prayers and receive our praise
As we believe and trust in you
For the large and the small things in our lives
For the world we live in
And all those sent to tell others in far corners
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
